In the US, the Kroger grocery chain offers discounts on gasoline depending on how much you spend on groceries during the month. Wonder if at some point they'll start offering discounts on charging, especially if you're shopping while charging. When I had a Nissan Leaf, I used to charge at a Kroger halfway between home and the office, but that was a third party charger with no association with the store. It would have been nice if my Kroger Fuel Points could have discounted my charging instead.
I think it's an eventuality that Gas stations pivot to charging stations in a tangible way. They already don't make much on fuel, so, provided they can get sufficient utility power, and a future exists where charging an EV is as fast as filling up a gas tank, they'll probably happily continue to exist selling snacks and drinks as they do now.
